With the dense fog this morning and rain shower this afternoon wrigley and I have found a little time to relax, look at the internet and watch american chopper on tv.
We have been rolling right along. Only about 300 acres to go and we will have corn harvest finished up and then on to soybeans. It always seem as we harvest our resources get a little thin. That can mean a lack of time, manpower or horsepower.
I needed to move some dry corn out of this bin and after seaching around, this was the best tractor choice. I didnt leave the barnlot, heck, I dont think I could have, but it did pull them around.
It can also lead to raking stalks with a 150hp 20000lbs tractor. Gotta do what ya gotta do!
Yesterday afternoon nick wanted to work the ground we are going to seed to triticale and the only thing around was the loader tractor. Thats the first field work that tractor has seen in over two years.
Nick has been baling corn stalks in the afternoon. He's got about 200 baled so we will do some more but since he has the 4440 on the baler.....
..the 4430 got unhooked from the bale processor and was pressed into service pulling wagons. I really like this tractor but it not a 4440 and if you have had both you know what I mean.
Quick quiz. What is the likely moisture of the corn being harvested in this pic? I imagine people are wondering if I have stock in the lp gas company but this corn was testing 19 percent yesterday. It has so much green material it is giving some trouble plugging the concaves. We are happy with the yield, the 40 acres we did yesterday had a avg dry yield of 187. Not bad for no rain all summer.
Virtually all of our grain goes straight into the bins. Load after load of beautiful golden corn.
Just a picture from atop another bin looking down at the barnlot at cliffs.
Took this from on the bins. Thats cliff and david picking in the field about 1/2 mile from the bin site. New camera has 10X optical zoom and another 10X digital zoom.
How about multiple wrigley pics?
Keeping an eye on the road for me.
Ready to lend a paw and move the tractor if needed.
And waiting for me to return from the top of a grain bin. He WILL climb the ones with stairs but I tell him to stay at the bottom and wait for me and he usually will.
Enjoy the pics, I enjoy taking them and we are having a wonderfull fall. Hope you are too!
